Ka Malanai at Kailua
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

I looked for phrases like "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," but the remarks did not provide any building-wide owner-occupancy information. The listings only describe individual units as original-owner, second home, or tenant-occupied, which is not enough to estimate the overall percentage.
I searched for an explicit elevator count such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or any numeric statement, but none appeared in the remarks. The listings confirm that the building has elevator access, but they do not state how many elevators there are.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Cable inclusion is supported by both MLS and remarks. At least one listing explicitly states "HOA includes Spectrum cable," and the MLS data has CABTV checked in 9 of 20 entries, which is consistent enough to treat as a building-level inclusion.
This is one of the clearest building-level inclusions. MLS data shows OTCOEX in 19 of 20 listings, and the public remarks align with that pattern, suggesting the fee includes common area / other common expenses across the building rather than being an isolated agent entry.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The MLS pattern is strongly negative for HOTWAT (0 of 20) and strongly positive for WTRHTR (17 of 20), which is a reliable indicator that hot water is individually heated in units instead of provided by the HOA.
Internet inclusion is supported by both MLS data and direct remarks. The explicit HOA statement naming internet, plus 8 of 20 MLS listings checking INTSER, makes this a credible building-level fee inclusion.
No analysis available
Sewer is unquestionably included. Every MLS record checked includes SEWER, and remarks directly confirm it, making this a uniform building-level feature with extremely high confidence.
Water is consistently included across the building. All 20 MLS listings include WATER, and the remarks explicitly match that pattern, so this is a very high-confidence inclusion.
BBQ is strongly supported. Multiple listings explicitly mention "BBQ areas," "outdoor BBQ area," "courtyard BBQs," and "BBQ stations," which appears consistently across numerous agents and units. This is not just MLS checkbox noise; the amenity is described in the public remarks many times.

Strong evidence across the current remarks: numerous listings explicitly advertise a "lanai", "private lanai", "covered lanai" or "wrap-around lanai" (phrases quoted include "private, generous lanai", "spacious lanai", and "wrap-around lanai"). This corroborates prior MLS checkbox data (historically high confidence) and appears consistently across multiple agents/remarks rather than being an isolated copy-paste error, so the building-level patio/deck amenity should be included.
Several listings explicitly mention on-site paths and fitness circulation, including 'walking paths, lawns, & exercise stations,' 'tropically landscaped grounds boasting a fitness network,' 'strolling paths,' and 'Barbecue, walking path, and exercise circuit are just below.' At least four separate remark sets describe these walking/fitness paths, and 11/20 current MLS entries flag the walking/jogging path amenity. The consistent, detailed language suggests established shared paths integrated into the landscaped grounds.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe private or fenced yard space; instead listings consistently describe lanais, landscaped courtyards, garden views, BBQ areas and shared lawns. Only 1/20 MLS records indicate PRIYAR in amenities (appears isolated), and agent copy/paste is likely given the lack of corroborating language like 'private yard' or 'fenced yard' across multiple agents.
No analysis available
There is moderate evidence for a recreation area or shared amenity space. While remarks do not always use the exact phrase "recreation area," several listings describe landscaped courtyards, gathering spaces, exercise stations, picnic areas, walking paths, and an amenity-style deck/commons environment, which aligns with RECARE. The evidence is consistent enough to include, but not as strong as BBQ.

Multiple listings for this building explicitly mention building storage/lockers — phrases include "secure bike & board storage," "storage for your bikes and kayaks," "common storage area for your bikes, surf or paddle boards," and "generous storage." At least several different agent remarks reference shared storage or limited on-site storage, and MLS amenities checkboxes also list STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG on some listings (3/20) with one listing showing STORAG in unit features, supporting that the building offers storage units/lockers.
The listings consistently mention surfboard or board storage, often alongside bike and kayak storage. This provides strong evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
Trash chute appears supported mainly by MLS amenity data rather than the public remarks. About 15 of 20 listings include TRACHU, but none of the remarks explicitly say "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." This is enough to include with moderate confidence, but the lack of remark confirmation keeps it below high confidence.

I looked for any mention that the pool is salt water, including wording like saltwater, saline, or salt pool. The remarks reference nearby pools and the district park pool, but do not identify any salt-water pool for the building.
Evidence is overwhelming that Ka Malanai offers in-unit laundry. Across the supplied remarks, many listings explicitly mention it—e.g. 'washer/dryer in the unit,' 'full size washer and dryer,' 'W/D in unit,' and 'full size washer and dryer unit included'—while one larger unit notes a separate laundry room. The consistency across multiple listings and agents aligns with the high-confidence historical MLS data and does not appear to be a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for signs of paid community laundry, including coin-op, card-operated, quarters, or explicit laundry charges. None were found, and the listings instead describe in-unit laundry, so there is no public-remark evidence that community laundry requires payment.
I looked for explicit public remarks about community laundry facilities being available on each floor, such as "laundry on every floor" or "floor-by-floor laundry." The remarks only reference in-unit washer/dryer or a separate laundry room, so there is no evidence of common laundry on every floor.
Parking is clearly present throughout the building. The remarks repeatedly mention “2 parking stalls,” “one covered parking stall,” “three parking stalls,” and “parking stalls near the elevator,” across many listings and agents. This looks highly consistent and not like a one-off copy-paste error.
Assigned parking is very strongly supported. Many listings explicitly say "assigned parking," "reserved parking," or "assigned covered parking stalls," and the feature appears consistently across multiple agents rather than as a one-off remark. The evidence indicates this building offers reserved/assigned stalls for buyers who need guaranteed parking.
Covered parking is confirmed across numerous listings. Remarks mention "2 covered parking stalls," "two assigned covered parking spaces," "covered parking stalls in the garage," and similar wording, showing this is not just MLS checkbox noise. The evidence is consistent across many listings and clearly supports covered parking as an available building feature.
I searched for explicit deeded-parking wording such as 'deeded stall,' 'owned parking,' or 'parking included in deed,' but the remarks only describe assigned, covered, reserved, and side-by-side stalls. That supports parking being included or assigned, but not specifically deeded.
No analysis available
I looked for any monthly parking charge, rental fee, or additional parking cost language and found none. The remarks discuss the number and location of stalls, guest parking, and assigned parking, but do not mention a separate parking fee.
Guest parking appears to be an established building feature. Multiple listings specifically mention “guest parking,” “ample guest parking,” and “loads of guest parking,” matching the high recent MLS presence of the guest parking checkbox. The evidence is repeated across different listings and seems reliable rather than copied from a single source.

I searched for 'parking waitlist,' 'waiting list,' or 'join the list for parking' and found no such references. The only 'must get on the list' wording refers to surf/paddle board storage, not parking.
No analysis available
The public remarks repeatedly describe card/fob-based access control, including keyed elevators and access-controlled entry. This is strong evidence that the building has a card/fob security system.
Security guard service is consistently confirmed across multiple Ka Malanai listings. Current remarks mention it in several ways, including "security patrol," "night time guard service," and "night shift security," which aligns with the historical SECGUA checkbox data. The evidence appears to be from multiple listings/agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Multiple listings directly reference security patrol or guard coverage, including nighttime security service. This is clear evidence that the building has patrol-based security.
No analysis available
Central AC is very strongly supported for Ka Malanai. Dozens of current remarks across multiple listings and agents explicitly mention "central AC," "central air," or "central air conditioning," and one listing even notes a "NEW central AC system," reinforcing that this is a building-level feature rather than a copy-paste error. The current remarks align with the already high-confidence MLS data, so this feature should remain included.

Strong evidence for concrete construction: 12 of 20 MLS listings mark CONCRE and public remarks explicitly describe the development as "solidly built with steel frame and concrete." The concrete/CONCRE designation appears across multiple agents and listings, corroborating earlier high confidence.
Across the provided listings, there are no references to double-wall construction or similar language like "two walls." The only direct construction note points to steel frame and concrete, so the current MLS double-wall signal is not validated by the remarks.
No analysis available
Some MLS checkbox activity: 8 of 20 listings mark MASSTU and historical confidence was Medium. However, none of the public remarks explicitly reference "masonry" or "stucco," suggesting the evidence is largely from MLS checkbox entries and may reflect agent copy/paste rather than explicit remark confirmation.
There is direct public-remark evidence for steel frame construction, and it aligns with the strong MLS pattern showing STEFRA in 16 of 20 listings. The wording appears in a detailed listing remark rather than a stray checkbox, so this is strong building-level confirmation.
No substantive evidence for slab foundation: only 3 of 20 MLS listings have SLAB checked and there are zero public remarks referencing a "concrete slab" or slab foundation. With absent historical support and no remark confirmations, the slab designation appears to be agent checkbox noise rather than a documented building feature.
No analysis available
No listings in the supplied remarks explicitly say "wood frame" or "wood frame construction." The only relevant construction language points in the opposite direction, with one remark describing the building as "steel frame and concrete," so the MLS wood-frame checkbox appears unsupported by the public remarks.
The remarks contain no explicit support for an above-ground construction designation. Given the lack of matching language and the stronger presence of other construction descriptors, the MLS above-ground checkbox does not appear to be supported by the public remarks.

I looked for STR indicators such as 'short-term rental allowed,' 'legal vacation rental,' NUC/TVU, or a 30-day minimum rule, and found none. The remarks suggest typical residential use and even reference long-term investment, so there is no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed.
I searched for hotel pool or hotel-managed rental program references and found none. Since there is also no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed, this must be false.
I looked for language suggesting owners must participate in a hotel or rental pool program, such as mandatory enrollment or cannot opt out. Nothing in the remarks indicates a required pool, so this is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold language such as 'lease expires,' 'ground lease ends,' 'leasehold expiring,' or a renewal/extension year, but found nothing in the remarks. The listings read like standard fee-simple condo marketing and do not mention any land lease details.
Public remarks repeatedly advertise VA financing and assumable VA loans, which is strong direct evidence that the building supports VA financing. This is not inferred; it is stated in multiple listings.
I searched the remarks for HOA insurance language indicating full building or walls-in coverage, but nothing was stated. The HOA inclusions mentioned cable, internet, water, sewer, and common expenses, which are not insurance references.
Evidence for fire sprinklers is strong and consistent. The building’s current remarks explicitly mention a "fire sprinkler system," and the MLS amenities data is also strongly supportive with 13 of 20 listings showing FIRSPR. This appears to be a stable building-level feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
I looked for direct fire/life safety evaluation wording, such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection, and did not find it. The only related reference was to a fire sprinkler system, which does not confirm a passed evaluation.

Multiple agent remarks across the building explicitly state mountain views (approx. 7 listings in the combined remarks: e.g., "beautiful mountain views", "magical mountain view", "beautiful Koolau mountain views", "majestic Koolau views", "mountains in distance", "peek-a-boo mountain views"). CURRENT MLS also lists MOUNTA for 6 of 20 listings. The evidence is consistent across several listings and agents, indicating the building offers mountain views for at least some units.

Strong building-level evidence for garden views. Multiple listings explicitly mention "courtyard," "garden views," "lush garden," "lush landscaping," and "landscaped grounds," with several agents describing lanai outlooks to gardens or courtyard lawns. The consistency across many remarks supports this as a real shared building view feature rather than a copy-paste error.

Evidence does not support sunset views for this building. Across the remarks, multiple agents mention mountain, garden, courtyard, park, green, and ocean/sunrise views, but none reference sunset, evening sun, western exposure, or fireworks. The MLS view data also shows no sunset mentions and several NONE entries, reinforcing the absence of this feature.
No analysis available
I looked for direct statements like "fireworks view," "see fireworks from the unit," or "watch fireworks from the lanai." The remarks mention beaches, mountain views, garden views, and courtyard views, but nothing about viewing fireworks from the building.
No analysis available
Evidence is strong across multiple listings for a resident/on-site manager. Current remarks include explicit phrases like "daytime Resident Manager on site" and "an on-site manager," which align with the historical high-confidence MLS flag. The repeated wording across listings suggests a real building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
